SCcyber E-Learning Institute

Teaching Philosophy

SCcyber E-Learning is different from conventional distance learning programs in that it creates accountability and interaction between student and teacher. Students are able to be logged into Zoom during frequently scheduled homework help times and can speak with the teacher through text messaging or a microphone and use tools such as a shared whiteboard to get help on questions. In most cases, our students work from a classroom environment in their home community where a Mentor addresses technical concerns and ensures student participation. Students may also communicate with their teacher via email or phone to get help with their courses. Experienced teachers with a passion for teaching Indigenous students head the online classes, providing a level of education that is the same as or better than that found in urban schools. Students who miss class time or change residences can easily catch up by reviewing archived classes. This system also allows students to work at a comfortable pace. Achievement is tracked on a weekly basis so that intervention and support can be provided as soon as it becomes necessary.
